To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILFRI'D PAUL HEATH, a citizen of the United States,resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois. haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Facial Preparations andProcesses of Gaseous Medication Thereof, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in facial preparations such aspomades, face cream, etc., and the invention consists gen erally in afacial preparation having incorporated therein microscopic bubbles ofcarbon dioxide (C0,) or other non-oxidizing gas.

The invention consists generally in the facial preparation hereinafterdescribed and particularly pointed out in the claims, and inthe methodof medicating such preparation.

Heretofore it has been difficult to produce satisfactory facialpreparations as the same were liable to spoil, owing to the fact thatsuch preparations are usually whipped or agitated for the purpose ofreducing the specific gravity thereof, by the incorporation of tinybubbles of air.

In carrying out my invention I place 111 a suitable container asuflicient amount of carbon dioxide (CO gas, which, being heavier thanair, will, as it rises in thecontainer, force the air out ofthecontainer and when suflicient gas has been received in the container,the desired materials are put into the container and are therebycompletely enveloped by the carbon d ox de gas. A further supply ofcarbon dioxlde gas is'added to the container until all of the air isdriven therefrom and the container is filled with the carbon dioxidegas, completely enveloping and surrounding the materials that have been:placed in the container.

The container is then suitably "agitated,

and microscopic bubbles of carbon dioxide gas (00,) become incorporatedin the material, while the air is Wholly expelled therefrom. After thecarbon dioxide gas,

has become thoroughly incorporated in the material in the container, thecontainer is sealed upand is ready for the market.

If the facial preparation was made in an atmosphere of air, the oxygenfrom the air would, in time. oxide the fats of the preparation, causingthe same to very quickly.

spoil. The carbon dioxide gas, incorporated into the preparation by myprocess, not only prevents oxidation'and the resulting spoiling of thepreparation, but the addition of this gas to the preparation coutributesto the-soothing and healing effect thereof.

;I claim as my invention:

1. The'process of gaseously medicating facial cream preparations, whichconsists in incorporating in said preparation, minute bubbles ofnon-oxidizing gas to produce a dermal cream of reduced specific gravityand having a soothing or healing effect, and.

scaling up the'cream for future use.

2. The process of gaseously medicating facial cream preparations, whichconsists in incorporating in said preparation minute bubbles of carbondioxide gas to produce a dermal cream of reduced specific gravity andhaving a soothing or healing effect, and sealing up the cream for futureuse.

3. A facial cream preparation having minute quantities of carbonic acidgas- (CO5) incorporated therein to provide a dermal cream'having asoothing or healing effect.

4. A facial cream preparationhaving minute quantities of non-oxidizinggas incorporated therein'to provide a dermal cream having a soothing orhealing effect.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto setmy hand this 10th day of October,1921.

WILFRID PAUL HEATH.
